I repeat, time. nobody. no matter who he is, can haveany more than you have There can'tbe any favoritism or special privilegeor gouging or monopoly in time Youget what's coming to you anyway, and11o man on earth can take it away* from you."And isn't this something to becheerful oter? Why.

The decision wasmade in a fire insurance suit wherebythe plaintiff sought to recover the fullvalue of clothing destroyed. In adnitting that the' clothing had beenworn mcre than ten times the plaintiff lost her case, for the court gaveher but a trifling sum.Whew! What an opportunity forthat judge's wife! She might hang atally sheet by her wardrobe door withthe record of every wearing of everygarment. "Ten times and out" mightbecome her slogan. If she chose, shecould have a new dress or two orthree pew dresmse efiry te1 da-accoriding to the number' of times shewishes to change her clothes in aday's time. Perhap8 at the end o amonth the judge mlght come to theconclusion that after all a dress hassome money value after it has beenworn ten times,Motor Maps.In countries like France, whereroads are good and cross roads nu*merous, travelers by automobile haveSfrequent occasion to consult roadmaaps, because they go so fast andchange direction so often that topographical information is, for them, acontinual necessity.To meet this there has been invented an automatic chart that unrolls in:step with the advance of the carriage,so that the chauffeur has always be,tore him a map of the route he is topursue. When the road is about toturn sharply an electric bell giveswarning 300 meters in advance. An,ther attachment to the chart registaers the distance traversed. TheWrhole apparatus is moved by gearingg onnected with the wheels of the auStaomaobile." ' " -- ,,a- o a 'FINE PRE-NORMAN CHURCHt: Remarkably Well Preserved Edifice at- Worth Was Built Long Beforethe ConquestMany churches in Britain owe their, 'lgin to thq piety of the Norman tat' ider, but these which antedate this.'lreat period of ca~urbch building are not~ so humerous, One sucrb pre-Norman:' e-iice Is the finae old parish church ofSWtorth. near Three Brtdgea- :A tittl'oo, wrtten by: Rer Arthur Bridge,he ictor of Worth, tells the b1Of what is aptly, described se* of the mtost remarkable relices oflhygone age it seems probable thatci church passed with the Manor ofSunder the will of Altred tleSto his third son.

"many of thewords you used were beyond the corprehension of your hearers. Thus, forinstance, the word 'inference'--perha'i not half of my parishioners understand its meaning.""Inference, inter'tce!'" exclaimedthe other. ''Why, everyone must understand that.""I think you will find It not soThere's my clerk, now. He'prides himself upon his learning, and, In truth.is very intelligent.

Many arrdtlesareimproved by usi :g pz:;p'r bags. One can buy thecially prepared bags at all grocers in assorted svery smail cost. Below I wjil give you a fewwhich I have found' ar:e much fi::cr in t.e bagsS baked in the open oven.A__ I T' ,. oApple Durplngs "'Paper LaddeJ2 cups sifted paatrv ,our 3i teaspoonful salt2 level teaspoonlfu:a .

Lay a cored andpared apple on each piece, fill the centerwith sugar and cinnamon, then draw un thedough to covcr the epple; make smooth andplace in a well-buttered p:aper bag, gvingplenty of space in the bag for the dumpling ;to rise. In using the bags, oil the eutir'.inner surface, have the a s lam side up andpin mouth of the bag sceurely. Place the,bag on a shallow pan. Ilave a. slow ov,.nwhen the bag is placed in the oen andincrease heat later. I find the rmost frequent mistake in using bans is to have theoven too hot. It takes much less heat tobake in a paper bag than in the open oven.To determine when the apple dumpling isbaked, make a small hole in the top of thebag and test with a fork. You will findapple dumplings baked in bags are delicious,the pastry being very light and soft. Seoften apple dumplings baked in the old wayin the open oven have a very hard crust.Serve dumplings with cream or lEardSauce,Hard SauceBeat half a cup of butter to a cream,gradually beat in one cup of sugar and pressinto a dom' shape on a glass or china plate.Crate a little nutmeg over the top.Beef Roll In Paper Bags3 cups flour 1 teaspoonful saltJJ cup shortening Sweet milk2 beaten eggs Grating of onion3 level teaspoonfuls K C Baking Powder1 cup each, chopped cooked beef and ham1 teaspoonful mixed mustard34 teaspoonful each, salt and pepperBroth or waterMix a biscuit dough of the flour, salt,baking powder, shortening and milk, and 1roll into a sheet half an inch thick, having to ends even. Mix the other ingredients. themselves, using liquid as needed tomake a paste. Spread the paste over thedough and rol like a jelly roll.Other cooked meats may be used in thesame way. Often we have several different ikinds of cold meats left, with not enough ofany one kind for a particular purpcse. Oneslcan use these several kinds putting themthrough the food chopper, using two cupsof this choppqd meat, seasoning as desired.For baking in the paper bag prepare thebag as for apple dumplings and bake by tsame rules.
